Gluten, Dairy, and Sugar-Free Oat Flour Banana Bread

Since we have been eating more grains I have been experimenting with alternative flours. You know, anything but white or whole wheat flours. These guys are a bit tricky since they often lack gluten, but if you are willing to experiment you can find some really awesome new flavors in baked goods.

This oat flour banana bread, for instance, gets its nutty flavor from 100% oat flour. The touch of sweetness comes from nothing but mashed ripe bananas, and the crunch comes from delicious, high protein nuts.

This recipe isn’t soaked, sprouted, or soured, though, so it could certainly be improved upon. Sprouting the oats before drying and grinding might do the trick. It does make for a nice quick bread that is gluten, dairy, and sugar-free, though. Check it out at the Plan to Eat Blog.

This is where I tell our story... of building a sustainable off-grid homestead in a Christian agrarian community... of raising this growing family of ours... of the beauty and the hard and the joy in all of it.

Hello, love witnessing this journey with you… So glad I found your newsletter….with the oat flour is this simply ground stabilized oat flakes (not quick cooking oats..) or do I grind up whole groats?
Thank you x

Alongside our four young children and community we're building an off-grid homestead from scratch and trying to grow more while buying less (though we have a long long way to go). We're fond of traditional and fermented foods, the nourishment they give, and the sustainability they bring. We also believe in growing them ourselves so we've been making messes, soil, and memories on this land since 2011.
